We are currently using Visual Studio 2010 Premium with TFS 2010. Every developer that uses VS 2010 has a MSDN license.

Our DBA also wants to utilize TFS 2010, but using Visual Studio 2008 BI Development Studio. The DBA doesn’t have a VS 2010 MSDN license. The solution I have found is to install:

  1. Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer (VS2008TeamExplorer.iso)
  2. Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (VS2008SP1ENUX1512962.iso)
  3. VS90SP1-KB974558-x86.exe

I am able to connect to our TFS 2010.

But, my question is: Does our DBA require a msdn license in order to connect to TFS 2010? If yes, how much would it cost per DBA (roughly)?

Thanks

    An MSDN license is overkill in this case. Your DBA just needs to have a TFS Client Access License (CAL) which you should be able to acquire through your MS rep or software reseller of choice.
